Overall our stay was great. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the location was perfect. There was some confusion on the location of the check-in entrance and could use better visual. While it is not necessary, it would be nice to have beach towels, cooler, and sand toys in the condo to use. There were several beach chairs which was nice.

Had a great time but probably won't stay at shores again
The staff was so rude we tried to avoid them at all cost. It was still kind of dirty when we walked in and the elevator was horrible but none of that is the owners fault. We know that's out of their control. The view and the beach was absolutely beautiful though

Such a beautiful condo, perfect location. Only thing I could complain about is the parking situation, driving up and down so many floors to park got a little irritating but overall loved our stay. Our first time ever seeing the ocean and oh man the view was amazing. Waking up every day to that view off the balcony made me wonder why we live where we do! Will definitely be back!! Hoping to book once more this year ❤️

Great place just two issues
The place and location was great! My only issue is that the room had mild damages when we walked in which we did our best to fix for the next guest. Also the bands they use to access the place are not meant for long term use so fall off really easy. I definitely recommend switching bands because one night we couldn’t get in due to them thinking we stole our bands because they fell off. So we had to stay with a friend that night because we couldn’t get in. Besides that, it was a great trip, just an overly strict staff.

Great place
Me, my fiancé, and our married friends went to PCB this past week and it was fun for the most part! Honestly, no complaints other than the shower pressure wasn’t the best, it was very hot in the master bedroom, and there weren’t any comforters in either rooms. It wasn’t anything that we actually cared about, so I didn’t bother reaching out to the host. Any other complaints I have is towards the resort itself and isn’t affiliated with the hosts. We didn’t experience any long wait times with the elevators (thankfully), but the parking garage was a nightmare. We had a reserved spot on level 8, but it was such a tight squeeze on that floor so we just parked in an unreserved spot on the top of the parking garage (level 12). It worked out since we were on the 15th floor. This isn’t the best place to stay at if you like going to bed early because everyone will scream off of their balconies until 3am every night. Luckily our fan was loud enough to block out the sound of screaming! Honestly it was a lot of fun, and we were within walking distance to a lot of great places.

Not a good experience
Code to door didn’t work, washing machine flooded floor couldn’t use it, the maintenance guy came and out a blower in and told us not to use it, the tv channels didn’t work, the elevators didn’t work, the refrigerator didn’t cool, the light in the 1st bedroom didn’t work and maintenance said they couldn’t fix it because they would have to replace the ceiling fan, water was off for 2 days and when it came back on the water pressure was extremely low.

When you walk in this condo, you feel like you can walk right up to the ocean. You forget you’re 15 floors up. The sunsets and sunrises are better than any beach I’ve been to. The place is clean and updated and the beds were so comfortable! And the property managers are very helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
